I know, the title is pretty groan-worthy but I couldn't help myself. Sometimes I'm a VERY big dork!
My favorite summer show is starting soon! So You Think You Can Dance will be starting up right after Idol is over. After trying to move the show to the fall and failing BIG TIME, SYTYCD is back where it belongs, in the summer, and what I wouldn't give to have the story end there. I think the fall failure snapped something in Nigel's head which made him decide to change EVERYTHING. Instead of ten girl and ten guys making it to the big show, getting paired up and kicked off two at a time, there will only be a top ten - total. I don't think there's a gender quote but there could be. After that, the top ten are paired with SYTYCD All-Stars that specialize in a certain type of dancing (i.e. Pasha = ballroom) and are kicked off one at a time. The All-Stars are past contestants. Now, I love (most of) the past contestants and I'm looking forward to seeing them again but I'm going to miss falling in love with a whole new group of kids. I also think that I'm going to be watching the All-Stars more than the new dancers. Well, I'm powerless to do anything about it so I guess I'll just hope for the best!
OMG! Did you see Spike on "Lie to me"!! I miss him!! I guess I'll have to start watching that show. Can anyone tell me if he has a big role? Is he on every week? CRAP!! He just got shot and killed! Oh well!
Now, onto Idol!
Last night was a pretty lackluster night. I think a broader country theme instead of just Shania Twain would have turned out better performances. Her "songbook" seems a little shallow.
I don't think I could call any performance the best of the night but I'm sure going to call Siobhan the worst. That final shriek was ear splitting! I don't think she'll be going home but I wish she would.
I took a peek at the DialIdol numbers and it looks like Big Mike is going to be the big loser tonight. I have no problem with that. I'm not a fan and don't really dig his type of singing. I know that people out there do but I know of no one personally.
I think Casey's good looks will save him again but if he doesn't change it up and doing something exciting, I could see him leaving either next week or the week after.
Lee has a big fan base and will be safe until the top three and, most likely, the top two.
The big "surprise" last night was Crystal. She was good but not as good as she has been. She may have to suffer a trip to the bottom three to atone for that un-MamaSox worthy performance.
Last but not least is Aaron. If he doesn't leave tonight, I look for him to depart either next week or the week after. There's a real good chance that he picked up Tim's votes and he'll make it tonight and next week but I don't see him making it past that.
As usual, I'll be posting as the action happens on the East coast!
Rascal Flatts is up first so I'm guessing no group sing. Rascal starts off a little bad, got better on the chorus and then went bad again. I won't be getting this from iTunes tomorrow I can tell you that. Not my cup of tea.
Tonight is going to be VERY long.
Ford video vamps. Only slightly better then the other videos.
Now they're advertising Shriek XXII.
And it doesn't end. Now Camron and Antonio are on the Idol stage.
Results...FINALLY! Three groups of two time. Siobhan is first to get her recap and question and is sent to the far side of the stage.
Aaron is next and is sent to the center of the stage.
Big Mike is next with the recaps and question to Simon. Big Mike goes to the close side of the stage.
Lee is sent to join Siobhan.
Casey joins Big Mike.
Crystal joins Aaron in the middle.
I think Lee and Crystal have something going on.
Ryan is playing shuffle the Idols, puts Siobhan with Big Mike and Casey and pronounces them the bottom three.The others are safe.
Harry Connick, Jr. will be the mentor next week for Sinatra week!
Sons of Sylvia are up now and I'm pretty sure this isn't live. What I'm not sure of, is what's up with the sound? It's really bad. I'm not that excited about these guys but they do seem to have an 1980's flair that I could start digging.
Great. Now it's Lady Antebellum. I am so sick of this song. It's on XM20 ALL THE TIME.
HOLY CRAP! Now it's Rascal Flatts AGAIN but this time with Shakira. Will this night ever end??? NOW Ryan has to talk to her!
More results....no wait...more questions. *sigh*
Big Mike is save.
Could Siobhan REALLY be going home???
It's Siobhan going home!!!!
Woo hoo!!!!!!!!!!
...because it's GLEE NIGHT!! Yes, Glee is the most awesome show on TV! Today, I almost said it was the best EVER but Buffy is still number one in my heart and mind...but Glee is a strong second. Third would have to be So You Think You Can Dance (which is going to start again soon with changes that I'm not sure I'm going to like but I'll talk about that later).
Tonight, it's Idol first with the Shania Twain Songbook. Is there such a thing? I can think of three songs she's famous for, "Any Man of Mine", "Who's Bed Have Your Boots Been Under", and "Man, I Feel Like a Woman". If a guys sings that last one, I'm going to faint! Oh! I just thought of one more, "That Don't Impress Me Much". And how could I forget "Honey, I'm Home"! I use to sing that at Karaoke. Wouldn't that be funny if THAT was the song Crystal sang?!? She has a habit of singing my songs. Well, that's only five songs. I wonder what the last Idol is going to sing.
Ryan starts the show by reminding us what the Idols use to do. Glass blower would be an interesting job. He tells us that $45 million dollars was raised last week on Idol Gives back. That's pretty good.
Since when is Shania the Queen of Country? Isn't that Loretta Lynn or Dolly Parton?
Anyway, Lee is up first singing "You're Still The One".He starts it a little slow ad had me worried but he picked it up. It's nice. He'll make it to next week. I'm thinking final two for him. Randy thinks he did a pretty good job. Should I even bother typing what Ellen is saying? Kara says good job. Simon thinks it was the perfect song for Lee. Kara interrupted him and them he threw a hissy fit.
Big Mike is doing "It Only Hurts When I'm Breathing" Not sure what this song is but I'm sure Mike will slap some Theatre on it. He manages to keep the Theatre under control but it looks like it's a hard thing for him to do. Randy says "Stay who you are". Ellen felt it. Kara says he felt connected. Simon calls the performance "wet". Okay.
Brittany "I'm pretty sure my cat's been reading my diary." I love her!
Casey is singing "Don't". I DON'T know this one either. He's doing a pretty good job but the band kind of drowns him out at times. I think after last week in the bottom three, he's fan are going to be dialing and texting until their fingers bleed. Randy calls it the best Casey James ever. Ellen thinks that he should sings songs like this. Kara thinks he didn't hide. Simon thinks it's his best so far as well and tells him to kiss Shania on the lips. Shania gets up and hugs him but avoids lip contact. Casey sure looked like he wanted to kiss her! LOL.
Crystal is up and is she singing my song? Nope, it's "No One Needs To Know". Country is NOT her thing. She's not doing bad but it is no where near her best in my book. Don't get me wrong, she can sing. Country just isn't her thing. Randy loves her and glad she did a county version of the country song. Ellen says it wasn't her favorite. Kara agrees the the "guys". I thought she got the memo on calling Ellen a guy. Simon calls it limp and compares it to unwanted coffee shop entertainment. Ryan turns up the heat on Crystal's boyfriend. I'm assuming that he's the Baby Daddy. My advice, marry her before she gets famous and doesn't want you anymore.
OH!! They just had an anti-smoking commercial with an asthmatic kitteh. Another good reason to quit smoking! Save the kitteh! I'm sure this applies to doggies too.
Aaron is singing "You Got Away". I guess these songs are from the time that I didn't listen to country, 1995 to present. LOL! Just kidding! Is he wearing a Member's Only jacket? Okay, he is SO going home tomorrow. Yucky poo! Snoozefest to the nth degree. Bye Bye Aaron...it's about time. Randy must have heard something I didn't because he says he did a good job. Ellen reminds us that Aaron is REALLY young. Kara agrees with Ellen and talks about sex with the little kid. Simon liked it too. Bummer! I want him gone!
Last up is Siobhan with "Any Man Of Mine". She is so low energy. Even with all the clapping she doesn't seem excited about it and is just strolling around. OMG!! The horrible screaming final note is back. Randy, Ellen, and Kara loved it. Simon thought she was giving birth with that last note. Some people think she'll make the top three. I hope she leaves tomorrow. I don't think I'll get what I want since the Worsters are voting for her now that Timmeh is gone.
I hope that either Aaron, Big Mike or Siobhan go home tomorrow but, despite his "brush with death" last week, Casey might be hitting the road.
